The f.b.i. and the d.o.j. knew that the dossier was dirty or at least highly questionable when they applied for -- this all goes back to what bruce ohr of the d.o.j. knew and when he knew it. specifically that he kept talking to christopher steele six months after he was fired by the f.b.i. for leaking and that ohr knew steele didnt like president trump. lets go back to september 2016, a month before the initial fisa warrant to surveil the trump campaign. much of that fisa warrant was based on t...

Were just eight days away from muellers scheduled testimony on the hill. to talk about all of it, back with us tonight is chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney. former senior fbi official. also happens to be presently the host of the msnbc podcast called "the oath". what do you make of the steele story? >> first the office of inspector general at the department of justice and the inspector general have good reputations. fair. nonpartisan, professionals. thats good news. you can trust their repor...

Nonpartisan, professionals. thats good news. you can trust their report. second, mr. steele didnt have to cooperate with this. hes a foreign national. he doesnt work for the department of justice. he never did. and so he sat down with them voluntarily. thats a good sign. he wanted to tell the story and he wanted to make sure that the inspector general had all the facts at his disposition before he wrote his report. thats helpful to the inspector general and will be helpful to us. >> well, you ma...

Firm, thats the same one that hillary used. now we reached out to both president obama and his campaign. they never got back to us. this is the exact same thing that hillary clinton did accept she and the dnc, they didnt pay 3 million. they paid over $12 million for a dossier that used russian government sources and lies and misinformation and propaganda. and "the daily caller" is also reporting on another key piece of information from a book. former british by christopher steele openly doubted ...

The fbi didnt do their job. they never verified it, they never corroborated, which is not only protocol but that is what the fisa law tells them to do. then the fbi user to secure a fisa warrant, that same thing christopher steele didnt even believe in, to spy on an opposition party candidate in an election year. of course they never told the fisa judge that the clinton campaign and the dnc pay for these unverified, salacious lies, and nobody had any clue if it was true. "the daily caller" is al...

Going on. >> diversity is important for all political organizations. in 2009, republicans were excited to have a black chairman of the rnc, michael steele. but what this comment implied was this was diversity for diversity sake and that steele didnt do a very good job. of course thats going to upset steele and its going to stomp on the message that the republican party as a diversion organization. but i think its important to keep innen context here that this person who spoke was the spokesperso...

If seems to be forgotten in all the conversations that the origination of hiring steele to put together a dossier was via the washington beacon, they wanted to provide opposition research on donald trump. its a very conservative group. thats who hired him in the first place. >> right. and this gets back to the first point. the only way that, who paid steele is relevant is if steele knew it. right? because if he knew it, one way or the other, whether conservatives, democrats or maybe both, it onl...

Information that fbi didnt pay for. he had been a proven confidential informant that worked with them. they took some of that information and used it in the fisa application. what the republicans are quibbling about is that they tell that steele didnt tell the fbi that he was working for the democrats. what steele did tell the fbi is he was working for anti-trump forces. its a distinction without a difference. the republicans are trying to blow up the whole application based on this one threat. ...
